"Suic1deKin9" called off for their remaining 2,114,288, as did "latvianhero1" to setup a three-way all in.
"latvianhero1": A?Q?
"Suic1deKin9": J?J?
"thechronic99": K?K?
"thechronic99" had the covering stack and was in good position to score the double knockout. That all changed on the 9?J?10? flop, which gave "Suic1deKin9" top set while improving "latvianhero1" to an open ended straight draw to go along with the nut flush draw. The A? turn changed little but the Q? river handed "latvianhero1" the main pot with the flush while giving "thechronic99" the sidepot with broadway to send "Suic1deKin9" out in 8th place.

One day after being accused of cheating a California home game out of millions, Tony Mars issued a statement to PokerNews denying the allegations.
Wesley Fei and Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot, both Hustler Casino Live regulars, claim that Mars, who also plays on HCL, brought a special UV-marked deck that allowed him to decipher face-down cards.
The alleged scandal occurred in a game at a private residence in Yorba Linda, California, a community in Orange County.
Level 42: 80,000/160,000
"Zindane" moved all in for 2,269,950 from under the gun and was called by "thechronic99" on the button.
"Zindane": A?10?
"thechronic99": A?J?
"Zindane" was dominated and would need significant help to survive. None came on the Q?7?2?5?A? runout to bring their tournament to an end in 3rd place and set the stage for a heads-up showdown between "thechronic99" and "ingeruRO14".
A few hands earlier, start of day chipleader "UGOTPOONCHED" was sent out in 4th place.
